Rescue operations place high demands on equipment. Products need to be easy to use, reliable under pressure and suited to the environment in which they are to be used. This may involve evacuating a person from a height, hoisting someone up or lowering them down in a confined space, creating a secure anchor point, or supplementing an existing fall protection system with the correct rescue equipment.
When purchasing fall protection products for rescue work, it is important to consider the situation as a whole, not just the individual product. What type of rescue operation might be required? Will the equipment be used for work at height, on masts and towers, in wells and shafts, or in other hard-to-reach environments? Is equipment required for lowering, hoisting, evacuation or self-rescue?
In our range, you’ll find products that can be used in conjunction with, for example, harnesses, fall arrest blocks, rescue blocks, ropes, winches, tripods, davits and other equipment for safe rescue operations. The right combination makes it easier to act quickly should an accident occur.
It is also important that the rescue equipment is compatible with other fall protection measures at the workplace. Harnesses, anchor points, pulleys, ropes and any lifting equipment must all work together as a single system to ensure that rescue operations can be carried out safely and effectively.
A well-planned rescue solution makes a huge difference should anything happen. In the event of a fall, time can be of the essence, which is why the equipment needs to be easily accessible, simple to use and tailored to the people who will be using it. Many workplaces also require different types of rescue solutions depending on the task at hand. Rescue from roofs, masts, scaffolding or confined spaces may require different products and working methods. It is therefore wise to choose fall protection equipment based on both risk assessment and practical application.
